NICK<br />
I suppose so.<br />
(hesitated)<br />
I’m doing what I’m told-simply<br />
following out instructions. The<br />
business is easy enough,<br />
apparently. I’m taking the<br />

SUSY<br />
The necessary steps: what are they?<br />
Everything the lawyers tell one is<br />
so confusing. I don’t yet<br />
understand-how it’s done.<br />
NICK<br />
My share, you mean? Oh, it’s very<br />
simple.<br />

NICK<br />

know why, except that we’ve never<br />
been there together.<br />

forehead.<br />
She stood up without knowing what she was doing, her heart<br />
in her throat.<br />
SUSY<br />
How grotesque-how utterly<br />
disgusting!<br />
He gave a slight shrug.
